There are two batteries types used in the devices, and one is faulty. To check which one is used in your particular Shield, go into your Settings menu scroll down and select About tablet, and then select Status.

Under the “Battery” category, you’ll see either Y01 or B01 listed. If B01 is listed, you are good to go. If Y01 is listed, return the tablet to Nvidia immediately as the battery can “overheat and pose a fire hazard”.

This is a complete recall, so all tablets with the faulty battery will be replaced by Nvidia at no expense to the customer.

Be sure to back up your data first because you will never use that tablet again once the new one is activated. And also for the obvious reason of the battery issue.

Speaking in an interview MMORPG, Nvidia Gameworks engineer Tom Peterson said the company is “fixing a ton of things that are not necessarily related to us,” by helping out on areas of the game unrelated to its own tech as a goodwill gesture.

“We have 200 to 300 engineers that are really visual scientists,” Peterson said per Poylygon. “They’re the best out there. We’ve taken the approach that says let’s capture what they’ve got in their minds, convert it to algorithms … test it and QA it, and then provide it as middleware effectively to game developers.”

Peterson said working on Arkham Knight is an example of how Nvidia can “help a developer get to market with a quality game.”

“Warner Bros. made a few mistakes getting the game out,” he said. “It wasn’t fully performance optimized for PC. So now we’re deploying our QA resources and our engineers to make that game as good as it possibly can be.”

The PC version of the game contained so many issues at launch, Warner pulled it from sale on Steam as did many retailers. Warner said it would not put the PC game back on the market until it was fixed.

A code for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain will be handed out with qualifying purchases of a GeForce GTX 980 Ti, 980, 970, or 960 GPU or 980/970M notebook.

Digital download codes included with video cards isn’t anything new, and back before digital become popular, it wasn’t uncommon to find a game disc in the package.

Nvidia boasts that only GeForce GTX will provide The Phantom Pain player with “incredible visuals, uncompromising gameplay, and advanced technologies” due to “stutter-free gaming, optimal playable settings, and other things you look for when playing on PC.

So, if you are in the market for both a card and The Phantom Pain, then here you go.

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain launches on PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on September 1. The PC version follows on September 15.

The Batman: Arkham Knight PC minimum system requirements were updated at the very last minute overnight.

The new requirements are almost identical to those published a few months ago, but with one major difference: if you use an AMD GPU, you’ll need a Radeon HD 7950 or better with at least 3 GB of memory.

On Steam, Rocksteady warned that AMD users may experience some problems.

“There are some known issues with the performance of Batman: Arkham Knight for PC owners using AMD graphics cards. We are working closely with AMD to rectify these issues as quickly as possible.”

As with most of these guides, this is essential for anyone looking to maximise the game’s frame-rate and graphical fidelity on their PCs.

Those thinking about getting a GTX 980, or its more affordable brother the GTX 970, will be very happy to know that Nvidia will throw in free copies of both The Witcher 3 and Batman: Arkham Knight when you buy either of the cards.

The list doesn’t mention why the game requires a smaller space to run at the minimum specs. Perhaps a high-resolution pack is in the works. It’s also not clear what resolution and framerate the ultra specs are designed for.

Nvidia usually produces graphical guides for the big AAA games, and GTA 5 is no different. Their guides offer in-depth coverage of each in-game setting, how much they affect framerate, if they can be tweaked outside the game, and much more.

The GTA 5 guide can be found through here and you’ll need to give it a read if you want to make the most of out of your rig. A multitude of GPUs are covered, so don’t fret if you don’t own the latest and greatest.

The expansion follows the narrative of Uriel, Elohim’s messenger, as he explores a “strange, hidden part of the simulation” on a mission of “mercy and redemption.”

Uriel is attempting to free the souls of the damned “at all costs.”

Road to Gehenna will consist of four episodes with advanced puzzle challenges.

“We wanted to revisit the world of The Talos Principle and deliver new characters and a new world with its own history and culture,” said Tom Jubert, co-writer of The Talos Principle. “With Road to Gehenna we have created an all-new narrative which both branches off from and expands the original character’s journey.”

The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna will be made available through Steam this spring and both the base game the expansion will launch on PlayStation 4 and Nvidia Shield platforms later this year.

http://www.vg247.com/2015/03/04/nvidia-shield-gdc-2015/#commentsWed, 04 Mar 2015 04:59:19 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=515672Nvidia has named yet another product “Shield” in an attempt to render us all hopelessly confused.

The heart of Nvidia’s GDC 2015 press conference was the Shield, a $200 Android set top box launching in May.

The box runs on AndroidOS and leverages Google TV. It has a very small, USB-rechargable remote control with a microphone allowing you to use Google voice search features. You can plug headphones into the remote, too, since it acts as a wireless receiver.

Less was said about the controller, although it apparently has a 40 hour battery life.

The Shield only has 16GB internal storage, as it’s intended for streaming, but has a microSD expansion port and two USB 3.0 ports for external HDDs. It can also stream local content from Nvidia-powered PCs at 1080p 60FPS.

The company called the device a “revolutionary TV, game console, and supercomputer”, an act of hyperbole which belies its modest Tegra X1 innards:

However, Nvidia explained its statement with its new business model: rather than buy a new GPU from it every few years, you buy one Shield and can later stream games from Nvidia’s own servers, which are always equipped with the biggest and best tech.

Players can access games from Google Play, including a dedicated Shield storefront for controller-friendly games. Nvidia boasted of Android-native versions of The Talos Principle, Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance, Crysis 3, Limbo, Doom: BFG Edition and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and said there’ll be 50 Android-native games available for purchase when the Shield launches.

In addition to games ported to the system, Nvidia has upgraded its streaming service. Grid+ will offer 1080p 60 FPS streaming from cloud servers, with latency of 150ms. Previously, GRID was limited to 720p streaming at 30 FPS

Players can choose whether to purchase a Basic or Premium subscription to Grid+. The free one lets you purchase games a la carte while the Premium one is all you can eat. New releases such as Batman: Arkham Knight and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be available on the service when they release.

The idea seems to be to get the high end performance of the best PCs, without paying for all the parts and needing to upgrade all the time. Clever – assuming you have the Internet connection to support it.

“If we can do what Netflix did for video, what Spotify did for music, we can expand the reach of gaming,” Nvidia said.

Okay, so: can we talk about the PC manufacturer insisting you don’t need a PC for gaming any more?

The issue that resulted in the filing of this lawsuit has been a point of contention over the past few weeks. Nvidia advertises the GTX 970 as having 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM and it recently came to light that the amount is allocated into two chunks, one 3.5GB and another 512MB. The bandwidth of the 512MB portion is estimated to be far lower than that of the 3.5GB portion, or 28GB/s versus 192GB/s.

This causes all sorts of stuttering and other issues whenever a game tries to access the VRAM beyond the 3.5GB portion, effectively rendering that portion unusable and the advertised specs false. Ramifications of this vary wildly depending on the game and the resolution, but it’s generally more noticeable in resolutions higher than 1440p.

The lawsuit is seeking jury trial and damages under California law. A judge will decide whether it can proceed as a class action suit.

Technology specialist site AnandTech ran some early tests on the DirectX 12 build available in the latest version of Windows 10 and shown performance increases that are through the roof.

Without going into a lot of technology talk, even though I would love to, DirectX 12 increases the performance of existing GPU hardware by 400% on AMD GPUs and some 150% on Nvidia GPUs.

What’s given those results you ask? Well, the website ran Star Swarm Tech Demo on multiple cards from both manufacturers. Nvidia’s GTX 980 achieved 26.7 frames-per-second on DirectX 11, and a whopping 66.8 on DirectX 12. As for AMD, the Raden R9 290X managed 8.3 frames-per-second on DirectX 11, and 49.2 on DirectX 12.

According to the report, the demo manages those impressive results on DirectX 12 because the API eliminates the CPU bottleneck by scaling very well with all available CPU cores, something which most APIs have been struggling to do on PC for years. As a result, the load is balanced across all CPU cores, increasing the performance and utilising up to four cores.

That aside, gaming podcast The Inner Circle sat down with Stardock’s Brad Wardell to talk about DirectX 12 and he revealed some stunning details. DirectX 12 could handle 600K draw cells, compared to DirectX 9’s 6K, according to Wardel, who strangely didn’t talk about the limit for DirectX 11.

Wardell also reaffirmed the same findings above regarding the performance gain on AMD graphics cards.

Both the podcast and the full Anand Tech report are well worth checking out, if you’ve got the time.

http://www.vg247.com/2014/11/13/nvidia-grid-streaming-shield-2/#commentsThu, 13 Nov 2014 15:10:11 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=500819Nvidia has introduced its GRID on-demand gaming service which will be made available starting next week in North America.

Toting it as the “Netfilx of Games,” the streaming service provides “GeForce GTX-quality graphics to SHIELD devices.”

The goal is to provide 20 petaflops of graphics processing compute power into the cloud by “putting thousands of GRID GPUs into data centers around the world.”

This all sounds lovely, but how does it run? How well does it actually stream games?

According to Digital Foundry, despite a “lackluster internet connection” where the demo was made available, the GeForce Grid demo “came across as the best cloud gaming experience we’ve tested to date.”

“We can confirm that Grid is indeed supplying 60fps video, and [depending upon latency due to Internet speeds] video stream runs at 720p60 and according to the game’s setting menu, USF4 was rendering at 720p, with 4x MSAA.

“In the short-term, the Grid preview [free until June 30] is certainly a welcome boost for the Shield Tablet.”

You should really read the entire Digital Foundry article, especially if you are interested in cloud gaming.

Shield tablet exclusives such as Half-Life 2: Episode 1, and a Shield-enhanced version of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath are available for the device and a 32GB LTE version of Shield will offer a ‘Green Box’ bonus consisting of free copies of Portal, Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode 1.

Available November 18 in North America alongside the Android 5.0 Lollipop update, the GRID on-demand streaming service arrives in Europe this December, and next year in Asia.

Nvidia is also offering the Free To Play Fall 2014 bundle, which comes with $150 worth of in-game currency for War Thunder, Strife and Infinite Crisis. This bundle is available with the GeForce GTX 750 Ti and GeForce GTX 750.

The Crew requires that a driver more recent than 14.6 is installed for Windows 7 and 8/8.1. Performance issues may arise when using inferior versions of the video driver (14.4 and below) on these operating systems. Laptop correspondent models of the above desktop specifications as well as newer CPU and Video Cards, may work but have not been exhaustively tested.

The Crew arrives on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One December 2.

Apparently, the Paris experience has been enhanced thanks to the tech, which means those with a GeForce GTX graphics card will reap the benefits.

Look. I can’t really tell how well something looks going by a video, because my ISP is still stuck in the Dark Ages. This means I can’t really watch an entire video in anything but 320p unless I want it to buffer every 5 seconds or so.

That being said, I can see the difference even with my poor resolution. – if this Nvidia demo is any indication.

It really looks like a pretty game.

The GTX 980 and GTX 970 are both high-end cards, based on Nvidia’s Maxwell architecture, and are aimed at PC and graphic enthusiasts.

The GTX 980, retailing at around £429($549), has 5.2bn transistors 2084 CUDA cores, with a 256-bit memory interface. It’s supposed to replace the GTX 780Ti. It comes with a base clock of 1126Mhz, and 4GB of GDDR5 video ram, but manages to run at just 165w TDP.

The GTX 970 is the less powerful brother, retailing at around £259($329), with fewer CUDA core count of 1664.

The GTX 970 is supposed to be 10-20% slower than the GTX 980, running at a base clock of 1050Mhz while sporting the same amount of video ram, 4GB. It also offers a small power usage signature of 145w.

Performance-wise, according to some benchmarks done by PC Gamer, the GTX 980 surpassed the performance of both the GTX 780Ti and AMD’s R9 290X.

Purportedly, Nvidia won’t call the next series of cards GTX 800 due to some confusion it would create between the card maker’s desktop and mobile product lines.

GTX 980 uses the 28nm process and clocks at 1000MHz and it has 4GB of video memory and it is 30% faster than Nvidia’s 780Ti.

The GTX 980 and GTX 970 will release first, with the GTX 960 releasing later.

Nvidia’s Titan Z, 780Ti, 780, 770 and 760 cards will continue to be supported for a bit.

Gigabyte revealed the GTX 900 series rwill arrive sometime in October 2014.

Shield tablet contains a 192-Core Tegra K1, suppots a new wireless controller, sports a 8-inch full HD display front-facing speakers, and there’s also an optional protective cover which can be used as a kick-stand to prop up the device.

It offers optional LTE for online gaming anywhere to play over 400 Shield-optimized Android games and the ability to wirelessly home stream PC gaming libraries as well.

Here’s a list of capabilities and features:

PC Streaming: First to stream games from a PC desktop or notebook, from anywhere in the home – using NVIDIA GameStream technology to stream from systems powered by an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 6xx series or greater GPU.

Cloud Streaming: First to stream PC games from the cloud. Gamers can access the NVIDIA GRID cloud gaming beta, available exclusively to SHIELD owners in Northern California, to instantly stream a library of high-quality PC games, and then save them in the cloud.

Twitch and NVIDIA ShadowPlay: First to feature Twitch – the leading video platform and community for gamers – which is also integrated with ShadowPlay, an advanced game-capture tool that lets users save and stream their greatest gaming moments. Gamers can stream titles from the SHIELD tablet to friends and foes worldwide. SHIELD Tablet also includes a 5MP front camera to enhance the image of the gamer overlaid on the Twitch gamecast.

Console Mode: First to feature NVIDIA Console Mode, which takes your tablet gameplay to your big screen TV. Console Mode transforms the device into a full living-room gaming and entertainment experience. Gamers can set up their SHIELD wireless controller, sit back on their couch and play Android games, browse the web and watch their favorite movies — all in native 1080p HD.

A stylus allows tablet experiences that touch-only tablets can’t match, and the NVIDIA DirectStylus 2 technology on the SHIELD tablet is a game-changer. Twice as responsive as its predecessor, DirectStylus 2 technology enables the first GPU-accelerated 3D painting. This enables a new capability where pigment and paint mix and bleed physically, in real time, and the palette is naturally illuminated in 3D as the user adjusts the light source.

Also bundled is the popular Frostbyte game Trine 2: Complete Story.

Sheild tablet comes with either Wi-Fi connectivity, or Wi-Fi and LTE. It’s available in 16and 32GB, with MicroSD (up to 128GB), starting at $299. The SHIELD wireless controller retails for $59. The SHIELD tablet cover retails for $39.

The tablet, wireless controller and tablet cover are now available for pre-order in the United States, Canada and select European countries.

Pre-orders in the United States are available at Amazon, Best Buy, Fry’s Electronics, GameStop, Micro Center, Newegg and Tiger Direct, and in Canada at Canada Computers, Memory Express, NCIX and ThinkGeek. You can also buy it through the official website.

Pre-orders in Europe are available at many “top e-tailers”. The full list can be found here.
